About this property
On the Beach. Casita Del Mar is a Studio - Sleeps 2. Great Reviews. Private.
AN IDEAL SPOT ON AN IDEAL BEACH. The Casita is located directly on the sands of Tamarindo Beach. It is a studio with 1 king bed or 2 twins, 1 bath and sleeps 2.
Casita Del Mar is a separate private unit built up in the trees in order to enjoy the ocean view and the cool ocean breezes and gives maximum privacy. Located on the southern end of Tamarindo Beach, midway between Tamarindo and Langosta, the Casita is an ideal hideaway. The Casita is situated in a tropical garden in a quiet, secluded neighborhood across from Isla del Capitan and three doors north of Hotel Capitan Suizo, one of the premier hotels in Costa Rica.
Yet just a few steps to the white sands of Tamarindo Beach puts you in the best location for sunning, surfing, swimming, kayaking to Isla del Capitan or a moonlight stroll after dinner. Walk two minutes to Hotel Capitan Suizo and its world-class restaurant or walk ten minutes to the heart of Tamarindo for shops, restaurants and night life. Best of all, you can look out at the Tamarindo Bay to check out the waves, watch the fishing fleet go out and return each day or simply read, relax and monitor the daily activity of the beach.
The Casita is a spacious studio apartment up high in the mango tree and coconut palms, many of our guests refer to it as "The Treehouse".
Casita Del Mar has a bath with an open shower, a full kitchen, air-conditioning, and an outside terrace in the trees. There is cable TV, Wi-Fi and maid service. Off-street secured parking is available on the property.
Enjoy days of swimming or surfing, horseback ride through the surrounding rivers and hills, savor the local fiesta scene, and then relax with a private massage on the terrace overlooking the garden or have a special beachside massage. All these things and much more are available to guests of Casita Del Mar.

Wonderful place! Perfectly located to be convenient to walk to the beach, but far enough from the noise. Communication was superb and we were able to have a relaxing and enjoyable stay! Thank you Roger and Pat!

Thanks for the review as we really stress the great location, on the beach and walking distance to center of town👍
We hope to see you back, soon.
Roger, owner
The whole property was well maintained. The room and kitchen were spotless. The balcony provided an excellent hang out spot to watch monkeys and birds eat the fruit. The beach in the backyard was the chefs kiss to the whole experience. Would recommend.

We loved our stay at Casita Del Mar. The location was fantastic, right on the quiet end of Tamarindo Beach. You could surf right outside our door. Casita had everything we needed and it was cleaned every three days by Kathy, who did an excellent job.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review and share your visit. We appreciate the input as it will help others when looking at Tamarindo, Costa Rica. Cheers and safe travels. Roger, owner
We stayed for a few nights. Very good location if you want to be in a quiet area. Staff and owner were accommodating and easy to communicate with . Very clean.
The hosts are the best as was the assistance provided by their contact with regards to any required bookings such as tours and the golf cart. This unit is the best as it is if was your own. Have been a couple of times and always a great stay.
This was such a lovely property and the owners were so kind and welcoming! I loved that it was right on the beach and the casita's patio was a great place to relax and chill! :D

Cheers and we hope we to see you back again, soon. Roger, owner
The Casita is in a great location for beach access, nice and quiet and yet a very short walk to restaurants, bars, small grocery stores. The studio had all the conveniences required for an enjoyable stay including a private patio surrounded by lovely foliage. The owner and property manager were very accommodating, they reached out upon reservation and offered suggestions and assistance to ensure a pleasant stay. Stellar housekeeping/gardening staff as well. No complaints. Pura vida!

The property manager was very accommodating and made our stay extremely pleasant .
We lived our time in Tamarindo and the property was absolutely amazing!! The owner and the manager were quick to respond to any questions/excursions we wanted. We will definitely be back!!
House had everything a vacationer would need. Never had to use our rental car. Everything was within walking distance including grocery stores, restaurants, and the beach.
Wonderful 6day vacation. No need for golf cart. Easy access to down town and restaurants. Owner and supervisor are very easy to work with. Provided great information on surrounding activities and transportation. Great experience we meet many friendly people. Easy access to beautiful beach andsunsets

Thank you for you for the informative review which is very helpful for people wanting to be near the beach and downtown. Were happy you enjoyed your stay and we hope to see you back again, soon!
We stayed here for 6 nights and had a great stay. The place is a studio sitting on the same property as a larger house and shares a walkway to the beach. Great location as it is only a few steps to the beach and then easy to walk in to town as well. It also felt very secure and was clean.
Roger and Pat were great hosts! Property is located right on the beach in Tamarindo. Easy access to the water as well as lots of shops and restaurants. Studio was equipped with all that we needed! Excellent time at Casita Del Mar!

About the host
Hosted by Roger Stebleton, owner
We have owned the property for 33 years and William, our manager, has been a property manager for over 25 years in Tamarindo so not only will he meet you to check you in when you arrive, help arrange most any activity during your stay.
Why they chose this property
We selected this property because it is directly on the best part of Tamarindo's great beach and close to the center of town, about a 15 minute walk to the circle. It's great because about 50 steps and you are on the sand and soon your are swimming, surfing, boogie boarding (furnished boards) or just enjoying the beach in one of our beach chairs. Also the lot is large enough for a flower garden and a mango tree where the monkey's hang out during the mango season.
What makes this property unique
The property is completely walled in with off street parking, you really do not need a car. The Casita had a great patio with lounge chairs, table and chairs for your dining pleasure, all with a white water view and a big plus is great monkey viewing during mango season, Feb. March and into April, the patio is built close to the mango tree allowing monkeys roof access and sometimes walk on patio railings.
Premier Host
They consistently provide great experiences for their guests
